my tonsils have been sore and swollen for the past two weeks (make your oral sex jokes now). It's horrible. Eating should never be painful, ever. I'm making another doctor's appointment to see what's up and hopefully I wont have to have the bloody things cut out (though it would give me an excuse to eat nothing but ice cream for a week). I think they're infected or something. Not cool, universe. Not cool.
Today, I rode the T all the way to Pittsburgh by myself like a big boy to take my Civil Service Test. Hopefully I can get a better job (one where, you know, I make money); this grocery-bagging gig does nothing for me. Seriously. That car doesn't run on hopes and dreams.
I've expanded The Great School Hunt to include culinary institutions, because although I hate the idea of spending ten hours a day cooped up in a kitchen, cooking is one very few things that I can do with confidence. It relaxes me. I'm totally cool with being relaxed for a living. You never know, that webcomic might take off* and become popular; with a big enough following, you can actually make a living off of merchandise and advertising alone. Brian Clevinger did it. It can happen. Dreams really do come true. But I'm not banking on it.
I kinda sorta really want to move to Texas now? These small towns are just not doing it for me. I'd like to live in a city, a real one, and at least I have friends in Houston. The monthly rent on a downtown apartment is much easier to manage with two people than it is with one. Aly has offered, and I'm heavily considering it. It wouldn't be until August at the soonest, so there's time to deliberate and prepare.
Life has so many decisions. Yeesh.
*Haha yeah right, Ryan. You have to write the damned thing first.
